PG Classics do nice reproductions.
Are there no holes on your doors for mirrors?
Gotta love a '69

There should be holes in the drivers side.Passenger side mirror was an option, so you have to make holes yourself.I just installed a passenger side mirror on my '68(I have '69 doors).
Max rim size:15"

Yep PG Classics has a great price for both mirriors.  Just measure the holes on the drivers door and do the same on the passenger side, unless you have a rare right side mirror car.
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

well mounted mine slightly forward to the drive side !   about quarter inch  from  the vent window maximum opening sweep  !! so it can still open all the way ,  this is the position that best suits me , i'm 6 foot 2  , ( althought i was more intrested in seeing how close  objects were from the quarter when backing up , but , can still see traffic real  also ,! well as well as you can out of these type of mirrors))) if it were me  , i would get a helper to hold the mirror  in various positions while you sit in the driver seat ! & see whats best for you !!  i know placing it   to match the driver side is crap  :icon_smile_blackeye:
